There’s a joke out there that says the Force is like duct tape; it has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the galaxy together. I keep thinking there’s a version for this totally bonkers (but awesome) Sailor Moon masking tape set, but I can’t quite figure it out.

Still, the point is that this set, comprised of 10 different printed rolls of Sailor Moon masking tape and two tape dispensers in the shape of the Crystal Star and a Cosmic Heart, exists in the world. No bedazzled toolbox should be without it. Oh wait, it’s a $115 set of tape. Nevermind.

Treats and decorations included treacle tarts, cauldron cakes, a HoneyDukes table, Fire Whiskey, floating candles, and even a Diagon Alley. Guests came in costume and were treated to a scavenger hunt among other activities. Take a closer look below. [click to continue…]

The new 1/6th scale Rogue One Chirrut Îmwe deluxe figure by Hot Toys is absolutely incredible. They’ve perfectly captured the likeness of the blind warrior monk from Jedha played by Hong Kong actor and martial artist Donnie Yen (who is gonna run away with this movie, I can feel it).

The deluxe version includes Chirrut’s detailed costume, staff and a crossbow (probably the best look we’ve had at them yet), multiple hands, and a diorama figure base with a Stormtrooper helmet and a special package design.

This is a showpiece for any collector. I can’t stop staring at the pictures—which you can see below. [click to continue…]

I have a special place in my heart for the Kotobukiya Bishoujo statues. They’re cute and sexy at the same time, but the big draw for me is the playfulness that’s inherent in the depiction of the characters. As you can see, playfulness abounds in this Marvel Comics Squirrel Girl Bishoujo statue right down to the bow around Tippy-Toe’s neck.

Shigeru Miyamoto says, for him, it’s like bringing Mario home. Watch him speak about the project in the video below. [click to continue…]
